The study consisted of three phases: identification of speech events, recording and analysis of speech acts during teacher-directed lessons, and followup of target students in second grade.

It is intended that such efforts will create multiple pathways to knowledge for Chinese learners by accommodating their varying learning needs. Several common themes that emerge from current literature about the context of education in the Chinese culture suggest that Chinese learners emphasize the Confucian...

The study grouped the families into three types: (1) those in which at least one parent had been born in the United States and had gone through the American educational system; (2) those in which both...
